Retreat Yourself Coming to ITV2 & ITV Hub

ITV2 and ITV Hub are set to launch Retreat Yourself, which will see four celebrities enter an unorthodox wellness clinic.

Produced by Twenty Six 03, Retreat Yourself was commissioned as part of ITV and Campaign Against Living Miserably’s ongoing mental wellness campaign, What Gets You Through. The series sees wellness guru Donna Preston open the retreat’s doors to the four famous faces and introduce them to unconventional coping mechanisms. It will premiere on July 8.

Participating in the series are singer Jake Quickenden, Love Island’s Kaz Kamwi, social media star Holly Ramsay and radio DJ Dean McCollough. In Retreat Yourself, they’ll take part in pottery smashing, messy Twister and herding animals in the name of self-care.

Retreat Yourself is the follow-up to last year’s The Full Treatment.

Simon Gunning, CEO for Campaign Against Living Miserably, said: “We know young people need to find new ways to look after their mental well-being and that traditional techniques can be off-putting. This show aims to give young people a starting point to explore looking after their mental well-being and remove the stigma around self-care to empower more young people to do what works for them.”

Susie Braun, director of Social Purpose at ITV, said: “At ITV, we’re on a mission to normalize looking after our mental well-being. Retreat Yourself is a brilliant example of entertaining content that also has a positive impact. We hope this series, with its quirky pick-me-ups, will help viewers consider what really works for them on a low mood—whether or not it fits the mold of typical self-care.”

Duncan Gray and Antonia Hurford-Jones, executive producers at Twenty Six 03, said: “We’re delighted to be working with ITV and CALM again to highlight this important issue. As well as exploring our celebrities’ coping mechanisms, the series will also be a lot of fun, and we hope it will encourage viewers to find their own methods for looking after their mental health and well-being.”
